UNITED STATES PATENT GEORGE DOEBRICH, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

COMPOSlTION FOR HANDS AND FEET FOR DOLLS, 84,6.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 551,530, dated December 17, 1895. Application filed October 11, 1895. Serial No. 565,393. (N specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE DOEBRICH, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Composition for Hands and Feet for Dolls, doe, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification.

My invention consists of a novel composition of matter which is especially adapted to be employed in the manufacture of the hands, feet and legs of dolls and similar articles, the said composition being always flexible and impressible and pleasing to the touch, and when colored to the proper degree resembles almost perfectly the head or foot of a human being.

In the present embodiment of my invention, I employ the following ingredients,taken in the following proportions: glue, glycerine, honey or other saccharine material, flour, white of egg or albumen, a suitable oil and pigment, paint or other coloring material, as may be expedient, the following proportions, however, being preferable: glue, one pound; glycerine, one-fourth pound; honey or other saccharine material, one-h alf pound; flour, one tablespoonful; albumen or the white of one egg, and oil and pigment, paint or other material as required to give the desired color to the composition.

The above ingredients when mixed in the above proportions and colored to the required degree are especially applicable in the manufacture of the hands, feet and legs of dolls and similar articles, the same having the ap pearance when properly colored of a perfect human hand or foot. Especial emphasis is laid upon the fact that the coloring material is thoroughly mixed and impregnated with the other ingredients, and not merely applied to the exterior of the composition after the same has become hard.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The herein described composition the same consisting of glue, glycerine, saccharine ma terial, flour, albumen, and coloring material, combined in substantially the proportions stated.

GEORGE D OEBRICH.
